oga nigeria players dey destroy dem selves with football age,na so oladimeji lawal Philip osondu take age distroy their foot ball carriers, 28 years claiming 19 years, Lewis figo played for Portugal in Saudi 1989 do you know when he retired from football?

We are talking about the class of 2005 here. Where the other so-called "wonder kids"? Aguero, Paletta, Biglia, Zabaleta, Gago, etc were all Messi's team mates at that tournament but they all retired before Mikel ( a supposed age cheat). Football no be mathematics bro.

Mikel by the way had successful career for both club and country. He played at the very top for years and did what his managers asked of him. That's why he was able to last that long.

There's a loooong list of players that met him and left him at Chelsea. In his DM position alone, Belletti, Matic, McEachran, Romeu are the names I can remember. I no talk say make you no criticise wrong doers but do am with verifiable facts.

David Silva still playing in Real Sociedad

Silva retired from international football in 2018 while Mikel retired in 2019.

Thanks be to God for deliverance, back 2 sender, joy and peace.

Bigla, Paletta, zabaleta, gago were all older than Messi in the tournament.. Messi just turned 18 and those guys were already 20 and slightly tuning 21..so as for aguero remove him from your list, he would still be playing if not for heart problems so it is false to put him in your list..

It is indeed vanity, my brother.

We are all in a rat race.

Just learn to love and do you, and be grateful for each day that you are able to be a part of.

ominilongest:
They all. Have a wonderful career
Taiye taiwo was adored is in prime in France Olympic Marseille to be Precise Dey even compare him to R.Carlos
Mikel much was expected from him but he delivered more which wasn't bad at all
Messi The Goat had a stellar career too
Nobody dey hungry na the moral lesson.

You guys should shut d trap already about the age bullshit

Even Pedri wey dey claim 18 person wey don' she shave bears u guys will nvr comment

When it comes to black u staty masturbating on the post like they gives a flying Bleep!

Like say any of the above mentioned no go feed una generations to come.

I know say one day one day I go just quit this site and nver come back again.

Its spoilt.

It's either you don't know how the system works abroad or you are just ignorant.. Shaving is no way to determine age.. Carbon dating has shown many African fail the age test.. Pedro is 18... If you are born abroad you get documented immediately so are you saying pedris parents or he himself knew he would be a footballer?

Mikel Obi & Taiye Taiwo played in 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship alongside Messi. Today Messi at 34 won World Cup for Argentina.

Point of correction messi is 35.
Thank you

oz4real83:
Taiye Taiwo in that pic was equivalent to a father with his immediate younger bro{Mikel Obi} and his son{Messi}. While Messi was less than 18years in that pic, Taiye Taiwo shouldn't be less than 30years, that was why he didn't last long at the top level because he was already old before bursting to limelight in that competition.

I trust Nigeria to condem there own even if is right
And better

Only few made it,do Maria wasn't even among.
Only zabaleta,Messi,aguero and gago to a certain degree made it at the top.
We had Mikel,taiwo,obasi to an extent including apam

Faber:
Mikel was also successful. Won AFCON, even before Messi won Copa America, also won UCL, league titles and later captained the Super Eagles.

I hate them picking on me for no just reason.

They should learn to read and just move on. I can't understand how difficult that can get.

Nigerians are just trying to be mischievous. Taye Taiwo still plays football actively and professionally, for someone who’s supposed to be a grand pa.

You spoke my mind right there bro. Too many hypocrisy is killing us in Nigeria. A lot of people change their age on their CVs every year to meet the minimum age requirement for job applications but they don't see that as an issue until when the age of politicians becomes controversy and even they go dey put mouth for that matter. The guy who cannot be trusted with association or organisation's money too go start calling politicians thief. As far as we are concerned , all that is wrong with Nigeria is ONLY the politicians... never with we the citizens.. because we are squeaky clean people with no blemish... reminds me of when Jesus said " he who is without sin , make him cast the first stone" all of them hypocrites just vamoose quick quick.... yeyenatu!

People have forgotten that Senderous who was making it to Arsenal first eleven could not make serious impact in the tournament that year.

Even Robinbo who was their equal has drop from the scene too

This guy has collected all the trophys in the football. Under 21, Olympic gold in football, champion league, copper America. Etc

Di Maria was but didn't make the tournament, he came back in the u-23 Olympics.. Even Messi almost missed out on the u-20

I'm talking about the team in the competition,as long as he wasn't there,so he did not make it

The forces holding Nigeria won't make you go far, if you have a child that is very talented, please move him out of this country.
